Death or the gladioli!
If we could only win a game of football!
Depends how much we beat Chelsea by.Starting out ok anyway as Arsenal down to 10 men and 1 - 0 down.
But even if we beat Chelsea , it is still out of our hands. Very annoying to be in this position.
Chelsea play at Leicester City on May 12th. I would say there is a least a 60% chance LC get a result. Also, LC could be playing for the Europa league. This is possible.Chelsea has GD of +21 while MU has GD of +13. That's an eight-goal difference. Cannot really see us beating Chelsea on goal difference. Still need Chelsea to lose/draw at least one game. Spurs could screw up in their next two games as well.
Must win against Chelsea to get fifth and live to fight another day.
We can also count on Spurs breaking down. They have injuries + they still have CL semifinals.It’s gonna be tough even now with everybody dropping points. If we win today we still need Chelsea to drop points in their last 2 games due to goal difference.
The Everton game will be the one that cost us, even a point there would have been ok.
Only if Spurs also finish outside top 4 and win CL.Don't forget that if Chelsea or arsenal win Europa then we need to finish 3rd
How do people not know the way it works yet after all these years ffsDon't forget that if Chelsea or arsenal win Europa then we need to finish 3rd
Exactly. It really is " it's the hope that kills you".At least it's over.
Huddersfield just as likely to beat us as we are them. Two terrible football teams.A long shot but we still have the drama of the last games of the season. Rents and arse lose and we get a hat-full against Huddersfield and who knows.
It's ridiculous - the rules have been this way for years now. In another thread someone was saying that if Chelsea finishes 4th and wins the EL, we can get into the CL from 5th place.How do people not know the way it works yet after all these years ffs
Who else can he play who won’t bring us down.Week in, week out, Ole's unshakable trust on Young, Matic, Rashford and Lukaku is what's bringing us down.
Might not be a bad thing, play the kids and avoid the competition altogether.I’m not angry about top four as we are gash, I’m just angry if we don’t finish 5th and miss the Europa qualifying rounds.
Problem is this might also be our best chance of qualifying for CL next year by wining Europa League again especially with the emergence of Leicester, Wolves and Everton who will all be pushing top 6 next season.Might not be a bad thing, play the kids and avoid the competition altogether.
Who would you field instead? Everyone is shit and we only have a few turds to go around. Their replacement candidates haven't covered themselves in glory either.Week in, week out, Ole's unshakable trust on Young, Matic, Rashford and Lukaku is what's bringing us down.
What has happened to Valencia? He keeps posting stuff on Instagram that would suggest he’s fit. Surely he could play ahead of Young. Or Dalot or Darmian?Who would you field instead?

Come on now I don’t think things have gone that drastic. Whilst Wolves and Everton have money to spend they still can’t attract the really big names. They just pay more for better than average players.Problem is this might also be our best chance of qualifying for CL next year by wining Europa League again especially with the emergence of Leicester, Wolves and Everton who will all be pushing top 6 next season.
Imo, none of Valencia, Dalot and Darmian is an improvement on Young. And that says a lot about the state of our squad.What has happened to Valencia? He keeps posting stuff on Instagram that would suggest he’s fit. Surely he could play ahead of Young. Or Dalot or Darmian?
It’s harsh to blame Rashford though, he’s playing out of position once again to accommodate Lukaku. I don’t get it. He played good in the first half today but he hasn’t had a good game since the PSG match.
I think your assessment of Rashford is wrong. When Solskjaer came in and started Rashford as a striker he looked a much better player. He’s still only 21, he’s going to be inconsistent. His goalscoring and assists record at his age is up there with the best in Europe.Imo, none of Valencia, Dalot and Darmian is an improvement on Young.

Don't get me started on Rashford. He's just not very good, sadly. His early days with United were successful because opponents didn't know much about him and didn't know what to expect. His only threat is pace.
